Every other desire gives way before it, and itis only in isolated eares that we find it has been overcome by a stronger passion. It isnot tobe wondered at, thi that the ‘Canadians, secing their adopted country sinking into premature decay, should desire to procure some pana- -eea for the evils which afilict it. ‘The great theme of conversation with all men, in both the Canadian Provinces, is the lately issued “Ad- dress to the People of Canada.” Three hundred and ‘twenty-five colonists, men of station, influence and ‘wealth, have crossed the Rubicon of their country’s fortune, not, as in Cwsar’s case, to invade those liber- ‘ties, but for the more patriotic purpose of protecting end cherishing them.

It is the first etep towards the dis- memberment of the British Empire and how the peo- le of England will view it, remains yet to be seen. if we are to believe th tements made by her men and press, for years past. we may expect to see it zegerded with the most sublime indifference.

How and injwhat manner we ought to be feceived into the confederation of sovereign States, is the great question of discussion, and that generally taken up by the opponents of the movement. Itis asserted by these short seeing men, ‘who never look deeper than the surface of affairs, that ‘that which has been the great crying evil with the British portion of the colonists, wili still remain, viz, French domination. Fatile and unsupportable as the assertion is, it proves & powerful weapon with the t body of the People ‘aud can only be removed by he'means of the tore of argument—aud here the of- of the eunezatin party will find work in abun- ce, re can be no doubt that what the asserters state, would be{the case for a few years in the local islatures, Canada divided. as is at present prop: ed, three sovereign States, to be called Northern ‘tal, and Eastern Capada, would leave the two ast _ or lees under French influence.

But French commerce is not so rich in capital as that of the two countries with which it is desirable she should be put in communication; it is less adventurous, and if no means are found of adding other capital to its own, it murt renounce the navigation of the Atlantic under its pational fleg, and thus lose the great advantages which the geographical porition of France it.

France would not have, like England, at the one time 8 powerful fleet of war steamers, and ® numerous mer- chant fleet; she would not have, like the United States, a merchant fleet capable of being converted at the sound of the first cannon into a warlike one; but she would create a fleet of steam transports which, accord. ing to our view, her geographical position peculiarly fits her to employ most usefully.

In war of invasion, on the con- trary, we should, by help ofa number of stoamerr, be evabled te rapidly throw an army over almost every part of Europe, by taking advantage of the three seas that lave our shores; and thus we could easily, both in the North and South, invade all our enem'ys territory. It would then be easy for France, merely by employ- ing steamers on services of peace, to, at the same time, assure herrelf of the only weapens of war she would have need of, This end could be attained by an asso- ciation of State capital and commercial labor. By there means we could, in times of peace, place our com- merce in frequent and regular communication with America; organize the post mts; prolong to the Atlantic coast, to meet the steam navigation, those railrond lines which, from Paris, point to all our sea- ports; create an advantageous ovasting trade between the porta of our three seas, and fill our rivers with pas- sepger and tow boats, ‘Then, if war should ever some; if the Almighty should tee ft to send forth this plague on the part of the world we inhabit, we ehould have not merely those fiat boats with which, however, Napoleon not only made England uneasy, but absolutely put ber in fear, but « large number of steamboats, capable of carrying an army at Marseilles, at Toulon, at Port Vendres, in the Mediterranean, and at the numberle ports from Bayonne to Dupkirk; and helding in awe, from our in- yarion.

THE INVESTIGATION BEFORK JUSTICE MOUNTFORT. ‘The Police Court at the Tombs, yesterday morning, was thronged at an early hour, exhibiting heads of » peculiar character, some # little rummy-looking, and others notso much 60; some bore the appearance of being legal voters, then again, others didn’t. Small knots of these mysterious-looking Individuals were seen leying their heads together, apparently in deep meditation, exhibiting anxious expectation of some desperate affair that was about to come off. On inquiry, we ascertained that the busy mustering was in conse- quence Of the anticipated hearing or investigation an- nounced to come off between Alderman Kelly, of the Sixth Ward, and Captain Magnes, the head and tront of the Sixth Ward Police. Thecomplaint we published © few days ago, in which the worthy alderman was charged with being intoxicated in the station-house, and on that alleged charge, Captain Magnes ordered him to be confined in one of the cells until released by Alderman Bard of the Fourteenth W. It will be well to notice here, that for eons time past political feud has existed between those designated the “ Kelly party” and the “ Magnes party.” These two rival factions are now fighting each other, in erder to obtain the largest number of legal voters for the coming contest next month. The Magnes party, which coneists of nearly all the police force of that ward, and their friends, support the “Foot ticket,” for Al- derman, and the Kelly party support themselves. The fecling now existing between these two parties is be- coming very bitter and savage. and may, if continued with the present spirit, result like the story of the “Kilkenny cats,” eat each other up, and a whig victory be the result of the election. Be that as it may, the crowd of anxious spectators brought together before the police court, to witness the amusing scene about to take place. was really laughable. ‘There were the Kellyites and the Footites, each deciding the ease as in their judgment it ought to be. A whisper could be heard from one te another, “ Faith, and the Alderman looks quite sober to-day.’ “Indeed,” whispered another, “he looks like @ judge.’ “it’s alla ite,” buzzed another, “ The Alderman never was drunk.’ “By the powers,” sald » funny looking little Irishman, with a short nos taken the pledge win Father Mathy was here.” (Suppressed laughter.) ‘The hearing had been set down for 11 o’clock, but in consequence of the absenee of counsel, jit was near 12 o'clock before the magistrate was able to proceed. Finally, the counsel appeared, and the Justice took his aud announced that he was ready to hear the case The’ room, by this time, speared very Interestin, heads were crowded together as full as they could jam, iving # very pretty idea of the supporters of eaeh po- itieal party. ‘The first witness called was Captain Magnes, by unsel for the defence, for the purpose of a cross-ex- ‘on questions put b: 1 had no ili feel- ing towards Patrick Kelly; | may have sald eomethi against Alderman Kelly, but not until he had exprosse rome ill feeling against ' me; pessibly within the last four months Qa lest thirty days expressed your: le to Alderman Kelly?
